Hi can someone who owns this knife and the bk2 tell me if the weight difference is noticeable.

Hi,The BK10 is 1.4 lbs. and the BK2 is 1.5 lbs. So not much difference. They are great knives. The BK9 will wear you down. Its too heavy.

Yes, the 2 feels a lot heavier in the hand. I had both the 2 and 10, until I deemed them both unsuitable for my survival style; the 2, well, because although indestructible, it's extremely heavy; and the 10 because, well, it's a shorter version of the 9, which happens to be my favorite. If you want an honest opinion from an avid survivalist and military veteran, the perfect combo is the 9 with a 16 or 17. That's all you really need. But, if you just want one good survival knife that can do it all, go with the 10 or 7. The 2 is just too much steel. Besides, all the Beckers are pretty much indestructible. The only thing the 2 could specialize in compared to the others is prying, but you shouldn't be prying with knives anyhow.

Don't know, but guessing same knife, but different packaging. Both do get abt the same ratings.

You nailed it. I personally prefer the BK10 to the BK2 but your mileage may vary. Best of luck!

The BK16 is a smaller knife suited to most hunting, bushcraft, or camp chores. The BK10 is more of a survival type knife (think a thinner lighter version of the BK2). I have and have used all 3, I can't imagine anything I would do with a knife that the BK16 cannot handle. I gave away my BK10 and only keep my BK2 for it's macho value. If you want to chop big trees get an axe. If you want to split firewood get a belt pole axe. Having said that, in an emergency the BK16 will baton very well.

Actually this knife is the largest fixed blade survival knife that I would carry. The BK 9 is definitely too heavy to carry on your belt for a long journey. But, I have walked 5 miles or more with this on my belt and I wasn't feeling like I wished I hadn't. I feel that It isn't too heavy or long to use on a decently long journey. That being said I think the BK 16 is a little lighter, but isn't as good for batoning or other tasks where the longer blade on the BK 7 is better suited, it does however have it's place also though. Take care and go ahead and get it or better yet, get both the BK 7 and 16 ! :) CDR Actually this knife is the largest fixed blade survival knife that I would carry.

Try CRKT web site...there are several different models/versions and sizes of this knife...compare specs, blade length and overall length. Its the only way to be sure of the differences between models. Another suggestion is to google the different model numbers and compare specs. Hope this helps

Yes, it is a bit heavier due to the weight of the walnut handle, but not by much. It stillhas the same relatively thin blade and feels light compared to most knives of this design.For a heavier knife with a thicker blade, I'd recommend the Mercer 8" Renaissance or Genesis in this price range..

Not exact clone. But if you have $30 now and can't afford bk2 this is a good alternative, given you have large hands, it has a big almost round molded handle. And the lanyard hole is useless because it's located to far forward. Sharp knife and the sheath alone would cost $28!

I own three 1095cv Beckers including the BK 14. They sharpen really easily. D2 is known to be more difficult to put an edge on it (once it's on, it's there for a while). If you have to maintain your knife in the field 1095cv is the better (and cheaper) option. Wet, damp conditions will give the D2 the advantage (and less maintenance-based on other D2 knives I have owned)

Yes, they are the same. The knife of the BK-2 and BK-22 are the same. Only the sheaths are different.
565973
No, it is not an exact clone of the BK2... What it is is a very good knife for the money that is tough as nails! Condor makes very good knives.

As far as I know the only difference is the sheath. The knife it exactly the same.

It weighs a tad over a pound. But if you have trouble gripping knives this would be ideal. You don't have to keep lifting it, just rock it over what you are chopping. Sharp and effective.

It is a very similar style and size. The main difference is the weight since all the pieces on this knife are made of metal.

http://www.crkt.com/K415KXPYou have al measures here. Be aware that the handle is on the thin side. I have thin hands myself, and still feels slightly weird.Now, even though my EDC is another blade, ti has a nice mechanism, and the blade itself's given me no trouble.

Good weight. Nice and heavy. Great blade and feel. This is the real deal. I am glad I bought it. This is a awesome knife.You should buy one and see for yourself.
